Connecticut Huskies

NCAA tournament is the University of Connecticut Women’s Basketball team. Their perfect one hundred and eight game streak and four back to back national championships has earned them the title, Dynasty. While this resume is almost uncomparable with any other sports record out there, there are those who believe that the UConn Huskies are hurting the progress of women's basketball and overall the progress of women's sports. Jack Brewster, of the University Wire writes, “The Huskies are winning so often and by so much that they are making women's basketball uncompetitive and therefore uninteresting”. Some may believe this to be true, but I feel that the University of Connecticut Women’s Basketball dominance is…

These two lists, of Northern and Southern immigrants, were written in 1635, which gives us a good look at how dissimilar they were down to the year. Governor Berkeley of Virginia commented that many “(of the freemen available for defense) are single freemen (whose labor will hardly maintain them)” and are probably in debt, and so they are very unreliable (Document G). The Governor’s comments emphasize again the differences between the two regions of colonies. There was no sense of community in…

part of my life that I’m more aware of is the part that could definitely be better. It was all fine for sure, but it wasn’t the preschool days, that’s for sure. I was growing up at Rumsey and before I knew it I was an Upper Schooler (middle school), while all the time playing hockey and baseball. My responsibilities had slowly started to grow, and some things were changing, unlike before. The death of my grandfather caused tensions on my mother’s side, causing me to almost the bait and tackle…

Epidemiology in the community of Hartford Connecticut I have chosen to focus my paper on the city of Hartford Connecticut. Identifying the right data source to obtain information is very important for managing and targeting the right population in the disease management process. Information can be found in many places, but finding credible sources is very important to assess the community and compare to the nationwide problems. Since the introduction of the Internet, we have been able to…

Demographics are reported to be diverse…

The American Revolution was a political conflict where colonists in new American colonies fought against English authority, and founded their own country, the United States of America. Being continents apart, colonial America and Britain were very different and required new ways of life. America was seen as a safe haven for anyone and everyone. Religious toleration and new economic opportunities were a big part of its rise. New lifestyles were made and new laws and systems were beginning to…

LESSON PLAN THREE OF THREE 1) Class Makeup 2nd period: This class holds twenty-eight students and is the most advanced class that I observe. This class is the most well-behaved of the three classes and seems to comprehend the material more easily than the other three classes that I observe. From my observation, the class is about sixteen males and twelve females. Of all the classes I observe they are all predominately white, with only six minority students between all three classes. This…

I think the British won the war because they had a superior military force under the leadership of man by the name of William Pitt. Along with the troops that were in the colonies, the British were able to make a comeback on a war that had almost lost in the beginning. From then on, the British had captured several French territories and strongholds, such as the city of Quebec. The French then became weaker and weaker as the British grew stronger and stronger. I think democracy is indeed…
